When you're learning Korean, you'll find that communication is really important. One useful verb to know is 경청하다.
This word means to listen carefully and respectfully. It's not just about hearing sounds, but about paying close attention to what someone is saying, often with the intention of understanding them better.
You might use 경청하다 in situations where you want to show someone you value their thoughts or advice. For example, if your friend is telling you about a problem, you would want to 경청하다.
It's a great word to use when you want to emphasize that you're truly paying attention in a conversation or meeting.
When you 경청하다, you're not just hearing sounds; you're actively paying attention to what someone is saying, showing respect and understanding. Imagine a situation where your friend is telling you about a tough day. Instead of interrupting or thinking about what you'll say next, you would 경청하다 by focusing entirely on their words and feelings. This verb emphasizes the importance of attentive and empathetic listening in Korean communication. It's a key part of building strong relationships and showing politeness in conversations.
§ What does 경청하다 mean?
The Korean verb 경청하다 (gyeongcheonghada) means 'to listen carefully and respectfully'. It's more than just hearing sounds; it implies active engagement and a genuine effort to understand what the other person is saying, often with a sense of deference or importance given to the speaker.
- DEFINITION
- To listen carefully and respectfully, paying close attention to the speaker and their message.
§ When do people use 경청하다?
People use 경청하다 in situations where showing respect and careful attention to the speaker is important. This often comes up in formal settings, during important conversations, or when someone holds a position of authority or expertise. It's a word that emphasizes the quality of listening, not just the act itself.
- In professional settings: When you're in a meeting, listening to a presentation, or receiving instructions from a superior, you would be expected to 경청하다. It shows professionalism and respect for the speaker's time and message.
- During advice or guidance: If an elder, a teacher, or a mentor is giving you advice, you would 경청하다 to show that you value their wisdom and experience.
- In serious discussions: When discussing important issues, problems, or sensitive topics, people use 경청하다 to convey that they are taking the conversation seriously and genuinely trying to understand all perspectives.
- To show empathy: When a friend or family member is sharing their troubles, 경청하다 implies you are listening not just to their words, but also to their feelings.
It's less commonly used in very casual, everyday chats where the listening might be more passive. For simple 'to hear' or 'to listen', you would typically use 듣다 (deutda). The addition of 경 (gyeong), meaning 'respect' or 'reverence', highlights the respectful and careful aspect of 경청하다.

需要掌握的语法
Verbs ending in -하다 can often be replaced with a noun followed by 하다. For example, 경청하다 can be split into 경청 (noun: careful listening) + 하다 (verb: to do). This is a common pattern for many Korean verbs, especially those derived from Sino-Korean words.
경청을 하다 (to do careful listening)
When using 경청하다 in a sentence, it often takes an object. The object, which is what is being listened to, will usually be marked with the object particle -을/를.
선생님의 말씀을 경청해요. (I listen carefully to the teacher's words.)
To express 'please listen carefully,' you can use the imperative ending -아/어 주세요.
제 말을 경청해 주세요. (Please listen carefully to my words.)
To describe an action in progress, you can use the present progressive form -고 있다. For example, 'listening carefully' would be 경청하고 있다.
그는 회의에서 경청하고 있어요. (He is listening carefully in the meeting.)
When you want to connect 경청하다 with another action or state, you can use various connective endings. For example, -면서 (while doing something) or -기 위해서 (in order to do something).
경청하면서 메모했어요. (I took notes while listening carefully.)

容易混淆的词
General listening; doesn't imply carefulness or respect.
Similar, but '경청하다' often has a stronger nuance of respect and formality.
To lend an ear, often implying physical attentiveness and interest.
容易混淆
Both '경청하다' and '듣다' involve listening, but their nuances are different.
'듣다' is a general verb meaning 'to hear' or 'to listen.' It doesn't carry the same connotation of carefulness or respect as '경청하다.' You can hear something without really paying attention. '경청하다' implies active, focused listening.
음악을 듣다 (to listen to music) vs. 조언을 경청하다 (to listen carefully to advice)
This phrase also means 'to listen carefully,' making it similar to '경청하다.'
While '주의 깊게 듣다' is very close in meaning to '경청하다,' '경청하다' often carries a slightly stronger sense of respect and formality, especially when referring to listening to elders, superiors, or important speeches. '주의 깊게 듣다' can be used in more general contexts.
이야기를 주의 깊게 듣다 (to listen to a story carefully) vs. 회장님의 연설을 경청하다 (to listen carefully to the chairman's speech)
This is the noun form of '경청하다.' Learners might confuse the verb with the noun.
'경청' is the act of listening carefully, while '경청하다' is the verb 'to listen carefully.' The noun is often used in phrases like '경청의 자세' (an attitude of careful listening).
경청하는 태도가 중요합니다. (An attitude of careful listening is important.)
This phrase means 'to lend an ear' or 'to listen attentively,' which is similar to '경청하다.'
Both imply attentive listening. '귀 기울이다' literally means 'to lean one's ear' and suggests a physical act of trying to hear better, often with interest. '경청하다' is more about the mental and respectful act of understanding what is being said, regardless of how well you can physically hear it.
아이의 이야기에 귀 기울이다 (to listen attentively to a child's story) vs. 부장님의 지시를 경청하다 (to listen carefully to the department head's instructions)
This word also involves receiving information, but in a very different context.
'수신하다' means 'to receive (a message, signal, etc.)' and is typically used for technical or formal reception of communications, like a radio signal or an email. It does not imply respectful or careful human listening.
메시지를 수신하다 (to receive a message) vs. 조언을 경청하다 (to listen carefully to advice)

Imagine '경' (kyung) sounds like 'king' and '청' (chung) sounds like 'chung' in 'chung-king express'. A king listens carefully to his subjects, just like you should listen to a 'chung-king' train approach.
视觉联想
Picture someone cupping their ear very intently, perhaps with a magnifying glass, emphasizing the 'carefully' aspect. Then, imagine a crown on their head, signifying 'respectfully' or 'kingly' attention.
